However, CC has agreed to ringfence the allocated funding to spend direct in both Antony 1 and Crafthole to help alleviate issues on site. Please note that the following are preliminary proposals for Crafthole and therefore not fully ratified by Sheviock PC/Parishioners. • At the eastern end of Crafthole B3247, purchase land and realign the road. The aim of this is to provide a line of sight to/from the mini roundabout. • On the opposite side, purchase land to provide alternative parking for residents of the Terrace. • This new parking would be 'encouraged' by installing double yellow lines between the eastern buildout and the first road hump only. With consultation on the double yellow lines to check public desire. • At the western end, alternative residents parking to be considered by utilising the existing verge nr the telephone kiosk. This would again be 'encouraged' by double yellow lines through the narrow section. Further consideration given to some vegetation clearance adjacent to the BT pole below/opposite Lynher House, just to improve the width slightly and potentially extending the parking bay into the verge below • The potential extension of the existing virtual footway, the road width appears to be an issue, but it would be measured to check. • Concerns were raised regarding the damage caused to underlying pipes/drainage/ noise from HGVs traversing the speed bumps and their design. (See Correspondence item 10e) • The removal of the signage directing traffic to Mount Edgcumbe/Millbrook off the A374 via Crafthole – to reduce traffic/HGVs on the narrow roads • CC Highways will commission Aecom to consider all the proposals above, providing indicative designs and costings.
